Semme,
Thanks very much for all your help yesterday, However as you will see below if you're still monitoring this thread, 666philb has come up trumps and re-upped the original files for me, so my problem is now resolved.
Btw, took your kind advice and installed Sakura terminal, much better experience.

Although I realise this topic is now very old, is anyone able to re-up the files in OP's post, and update the links here, please?
(Specifically seeking the .pet file for installation in wary 5.5)


Thanks in advance if you can help.

666philb,

MANY thanks for that, just what I wanted. :D

I'll keep them all somewhere safe on an external drive now, in case I may need any again in the future. which of course is what I should have done years ago,


On a slightly aside note, do you happen to have any idea if get_iplayer will still work in the New Year, after they bring in this compulsory BBC iPlayer site log-in regime?


Thanks again for all your work here.

I have noticed a change from about five days back. I use it mainly to download radio programmes. I can get the index feeds but when I try to download a programme this is what I get. I don't normally see the last line. I don't even know what "pid metadata" is. I have uninstalled and re-installed the pet but still get the same result. I wonder if the BBC have change something. Can it be repaired or is there a work around. I'll realy miss it if I can't get it working again.

Regards,

Ken.

this may not be relavent but, using this url snipped from the getiplayer log,

http://www.bbc.co.uk/bbcalba/programmes ... t_week.xml

gives this webpage message -



Maintenance mode

From April 18, 2017, the BBC is no longer able to offer XML, RDF and iCalendar (.ics) views of programme metadata from this location.

Work is underway in some areas of the BBC with a view to providing a durable successor to the decommissioned data views, and when the shape of this work is known, suitable communications will be put in place to direct the wider technology community towards that successor.

Until that time, it is possible to offer JSON views of many metadata aggregations from 'http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes', but these views cannot, unfortunately, include those of TV channel and radio station schedules, or A-Z or genre and format listings for a channel or station.

The remaining JSON feeds will remain in operation until May 1, 2018.

To expend new development effort on maintaining the decommissioned views would significantly threaten the future existence of the BBC's responsive web offering for programme websites. This includes the responsive web views of schedules for all of the BBC’s broadcast services (listed at http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes#services), which continue to be available.

Additionally - and this won't concern all users of data views, but may need some clarity - we would like to point out that no provision of metadata feeds from the BBC constitutes an implicit or explicit licence to download rights-controlled digital media content for indefinite retention by the downloader.

The Charter under which the BBC operates has, for many years, required it to commission a proportion of its content from commercial suppliers. Additionally, it engages independent performers and other contributors to certain programmes (including those produced by the BBC itself), according to commercial terms. All of the resulting agreements set limitations on the availability of the programmes online. It is not possible for the BBC to selectively ignore or to abrogate these obligations.

The date certainly seems to fit with the time I started to have trouble with downloads. Does this mean it would not be easy to get a fix or a work around for this problem?

Regards,

Ken.

Looks like, to work again, the program has to be updated to version 3.0, issued yesterday.
Trying to update from within get_iplayer only results in confirming that's it's already up-to-date with latest version 2.94!

Code: Select all

# ./get_iplayer --update
get_iplayer v2.94, Copyright (C) 2008-2010 Phil Lewis
  This program comes with ABSOLUTELY NO WARRANTY; for details use --warranty.
  This is free software, and you are welcome to redistribute it under certain
  conditions; use --conditions for details.

INFO: Current version is 2.94
INFO: Checking for latest version from www.infradead.org
INFO: No update is necessary (latest version = 2.94)
#
All I can find anywhere are command-line-style instructions to update in "regular" linux distros, e.g. like ubuntu or debian, not even a normal type tar.gz available to be able to download to extract and try copying/overwriting the files into the existing get_iplayer folder, which I know from experience has worked before with new Firefox builds.

Can anyone help me with directions how to install/ update this in Puppy please?

Hello

I've the same problem.

I've found https://github.com/get-iplayer/get_iplayer/wiki/unixpkg this page which has a link to an unofficial Ubuntu repo with *.deb packages. They might be worth trying depending which Puppy you use.

I will probably try in a new save file at some point.

suppose one of us could try PM to Phil in case he's no longer watching this thread.

Bye for now
Will

OK, no update yet - So hope this helps.

here's what i did to get the standard 'get_iplayer' debian install working in 'tahr' (I understand very little of what I did - so hopefully someone who knows more can tidy up/trim this install/procedure).

I uninstalled the puppy 'get iplayer'
and then followed this page,

https://github.com/get-iplayer/get_iplayer/wiki/unix

so basically, in the console -

curl -kLO https://raw.github.com/get-iplayer/get_ ... et_iplayer

install -m 755 ./get_iplayer /usr/local/bin

curl -kLO https://raw.github.com/get-iplayer/get_ ... player.cgi

install -m 755 ./get_iplayer.cgi /usr/local/bin


Then from the puppy package manager installed -

libwww-perl
liblwp-protocol-https-perl
libmojolicious-perl
libxml-simple-perl
libxml-libxml-perl
libcgi-pm-perl

Done

start iplayer with -

get_iplayer.cgi --listen 127.0.0.1 --port 1935

to stop - Ctrl-C

browse the Web PVR Manager - http://127.0.0.1:1935

PS : I skipped the whole 'ffmpeg to convert' stuff cause I don't use it.
